Would it be worth considering the W22 instead of the M60. I have a 3 year old and a 6 year old, and having the floor standing speaker might pose a problem. How much sound quality am I sacrificing with the in-wall W22.

I'm looking at either of those with QS8 and the VP150 and a HSU sub. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I just went from M22s to M80s and the sound difference is substantial, but if you must go the smaller speaker route I highly recommend the M22s and by all reviews of the W22s they should sound nearly the same as the M22s. You do give up a more rich and fuller sound going to the W/M22s from the floor standers. There is no substitute for a full range larger speaker.

I don't think the kids are that big of an issue, I have a 4 and 7yr old and my M80s are in their play area which doubles as the HT room. In your room I think the floor standers would just stick out too much from that entertainment unit and use up too much floor space and I would bet the WAF would be very low with that.

I don't understand how using inwalls would help you very much. Would you frame a fake wall to enclose two of the current openings in the entertainment center? Is there room on the side shelves for upright M22's?

I'm with Jason; adapting floorstanders in that room seems kind of inelegant.

Well I was thinking of mounting the W22's on the wall to the left and right of the TV. I could get the M60's and cut out space for them in the same place, the area to the left and right of the TV.

I don't know how they would sound put in flush with the rest of the entertainment center. I know they are ported out of the front, but I don't know if they are ported out of the back. I know there have been discussions on how far off the back wall people put their speakers. I didn't thinking getting M60's and making a cut-out in the entertainment center would make them sound good.
